Mr. John currently has a hairdressers shop located in the municipality of Arizona in the main square and near the Church. Before the pandemic, the hairdresser had five employees who worked for 50 hours a week all year round; that is, 52 weeks. As a result of the temporary closure of businesses, the hairdresser reopened its business with two hairdressers under the same conditions as before the closure. Today, each hairdresser earns $24,000 per hour, depending on the number of cuts he makes. The hairdresser has several items of his property that have a monthly depreciation of $2,000,000; he also has the items used by each of the hairdressers, whose depreciation amounts to $6,000 per cut. At the time the hairdresser does not have its own place, so he took a lease for a place that costs $5,000,000 a month; this price includes services, administration $250,000, water $18,000 and electricity $10,000. The value that costs each customer the haircut is $30,000 and each cut takes 20 minutes. It is estimated that under current conditions a hairdresser makes 5 cuts a day. The business, like everyone, must pay income tax of 33% a year.
